Our Team

I finished my bachelor’s degree at the University of Southern Maine in Social Work. I attended Boston University for my master’s degree in clinical social work and my doctorate at the University of Tennessee.

I have worked in government positions as casework for the State of Maine as a child protection worker for 5 years, school systems both public and private as an outpatient clinician and director of social services for over ten years at Hebron Academy.  I have worked in community based mental health agency as a clinician, crisis worker and supervisor of case management services for children and adults.

I went out on my own as a private outpatient mental health therapist in 2011 servicing the community of Norway and surrounding townships.  I work with all age groups as specializing in a small community is difficult. My specialty if I were to choose is working with adults that have unresolved childhood trauma and working with children providing play therapy.  In my practice I work with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages with a variety of issues from grief and loss, alcoholism/drug usage both active and affected by, divorce, trauma-based issues, affected by others, child abuse and neglect, sexual abuse trauma.  I do not work with sexual offenders,

I work from a relationship basis so if for some reason I am not a good fit I will make effort to find someone who is a good fit.
